Uncle Nine knew that the conflict between the two was irreconcilable, so he stopped the two who were about to mock him and took them back to the mortuary.
Unexpectedly, not long after Uncle Nine and the others left, Shi Jian began to cast a spell.
Lightning flashed across the sky, and streaks of dark lightning struck Shi Shaojian.
Shi Shaojian's body, which had been completely silent, began to tremble violently under the influence of the lightning.
Finally, he stood up abruptly.
"Revenge if you have a grudge, complain if you have a grievance!"
Shi Jian was casting a spell on his son's corpse.
"Master, how were you so fast? Wow~ you were in front of me in the blink of an eye!"
On the way back, Qiu Sheng looked at Uncle Nine with eyes full of admiration.
"How can you not hurry? Any slower and you'll become Shi Shaojian's food!"
Uncle Nine seemed to be in no mood to talk and was only concerned with getting back.
"Qiu Sheng, I think we should stay and comfort our senior."
"After all, his son is dead."
Wen Cai pulled Qiu Sheng aside, and the two whispered to each other.
Why didn't you stay!
Qiu Sheng was stunned by this sentence and left Wen Cai behind to catch up with Uncle Nine's pace.
"Killing even your own son, that's incredibly cruel! And you still want to stay? You'll be killed too!"
"Hey, Master, is it against our sect's rules to have children?"
Wen Cai, acting on a whim, asked Uncle Nine out of curiosity.
Just as Uncle Nine was about to answer, he suddenly paused, as if he had sensed something.
"Oh no, we'd better hurry back, or we might have to fight your grandmaster uncle in a magical duel!"
As he spoke, Uncle Nine quickened his pace.
"What's going on? Why are they fighting with their senior master?"
Wen Cai scratched his head.
"You idiot! We drove our eldest uncle's son to his death! Tell me, what happened?!"
"Ah! We didn't kill him, he did it himself, how can you blame us!"
Wen Cai was clearly startled by Qiu Sheng's words and said indignantly.
"Hurry up and keep up!"
Uncle Nine, who had already walked quite a distance away, called out to the two of them.
Back at the mortuary, the two were exhausted and panting, while Uncle Nine was completely unharmed.
Wow! Master, your stamina is amazing today! You're not even out of breath!
Qiu Sheng noticed this unusual scene and asked in confusion.
"I told you to exercise more!"
Uncle Nine went into the room and handed the two of them the talismans he had drawn at noon.
"You guys hold out for a bit, I'm going in to get things ready."
After instructing the two men to hold the fort in the courtyard, Uncle Nine led Lin Yu and Jia Le into the house.
"Master, aren't you worried at all? Aren't you afraid something might happen to my senior brothers?"
Lin Yu's lips twitched as he watched Uncle Nine enter the house, lock the door, and then sit leisurely in a rocking chair, sipping tea.
It's hard to connect Uncle Nine from noon with the present situation.
"It's alright, they're just a bunch of kids. Let them learn a thing or two."
Uncle Nine leisurely took a sip of tea and waved his hand.
In his perception, the vanguard consisted of countless little devils, Shi Jian's actions were intended to deplete his magical power.
However, Shi Jian was unaware that these kids, originally intended to wear down Uncle Nine, had now become high-quality energy in Uncle Nine's eyes.
"Qiuqiu... Qiu Sheng, you... look!"
Wen Cai pointed to the many ghostly figures outside the door, his voice trembling with fear.
"Ah! Master, hurry up! How long is 'a while'?"
Qiu Sheng reacted quickly, holding the door shut and shouting inside.
"It'll only last for a while, it'll just last for a while."
Uncle Nine, who was reading a book inside the room, replied without looking up.
"Will my junior brother be in trouble?"
Jia Le tugged at Lin Yu's sleeve and asked with concern.
"Why are you going out to help them?"
Lin Yu followed Uncle Nine's example, brewed a cup of tea, and leisurely read a book.
"No, no!"
Jia Le remembered that her senior brother had just said he wanted to toughen up her fellow disciples.
He subconsciously thought that his master wanted to train him, which meant throwing him into a room full of out-of-control "customers" and making him subdue them himself.
My master's senior brother is my master's senior brother, so I imagine this training is even more difficult. It's better to leave it to the other senior brothers; he can't handle it.
"Don't worry, they're both very clever. If something happens to you, nothing will happen to them."
Lin Yu waved his hand, gesturing for Jia Le to drink some tea.
Compared to the relaxed atmosphere inside, the outside was in complete chaos.
How could that small wooden door withstand the onslaught of so many ghosts?
Sure enough, the two of them were being chased by the ghosts and were running around the yard.
"Master! Help!"
Wen Cai was slow and was caught by the ghost first. Seeing that he was about to be surrounded, he could only cry for help into the house in terror.
Qiu Sheng, on the other hand, used his agile movements to weave through the group of ghosts.
"Hey!"
He could also use the momentum to rescue Wen Cai.
In the middle of the courtyard, the two stood back to back, fending off the demons.
"Take it!"
Qiu Sheng handed Wen Cai a handful of talismans, while he himself focused intently on the ghosts in front of him, ready to unleash a talisman on anyone who dared to cross the line.
Wen Cai, imitating him, hurriedly tried to cope.
However, the number of talismans was ultimately limited, and they were used up in no time.
Seeing that there was nothing to threaten them anymore, the ghosts bared their fangs and claws and pounced on them again.
"Help!"
Wen Cai was the first to give in and run away.
Qiu Sheng also used his agility to weave back and forth between the walls and the roof of the greenhouse.
Should we try to help Wen Cai?
Even in such a small space, the two were eventually grabbed by the ghost and thrown down, landing heavily on the ground.
"Ah!"
Perhaps driven to desperation, he suddenly shouted and used the Daoist technique that Uncle Nine had taught him, bringing his two fingers together.
Qiu Sheng used hand seals, initially only managing to repel one ghost at a time, but after performing them several times, he could knock away even a small ghost.
Upon seeing this, Wen Cai quickly hid behind Qiu Sheng.
Thus, the two sides remained deadlocked once again. Qiu Sheng did not take the initiative to attack, after all, his cultivation level was not high and he did not have much magic power in his body.
They always pick the one who stands out and fights.
Wow! My senior brothers are amazing! They managed to handle so many ghosts!
Jia Le and Lin Yu leaned against the window, peeking out to observe what was happening outside.
Jia Le shuddered when he saw so many ghosts again; thankfully, he hadn't tried to be brave and go out to help.
"Hmm, not bad, not bad."
Lin Yu watched with great interest, occasionally taking out a snack to eat.
"Oh no, go up and kick him! He can't even dodge that? Wow, he actually forced out some Daoist magic!"
When he saw something particularly interesting, Lin Yu even offered his own commentary.
"Alright, stop watching, it's time to go help."
At this moment, Uncle Nine finished his tea and patted the two of them on the head to indicate that he was finished.
"Master~!"
Outside, the two saw Uncle Nine come out, and their tired faces showed a relieved expression.
Although Qiu Sheng was able to restrain him for the time being using Daoist magic, only he knew that his magical power was already exhausted.
"Okay, Xiao Yu, go and bring your senior brothers over."
Uncle Nine barely approved of their performance; although they were chased by ghosts and looked quite disheveled, they had at least learned something.
Seeing the two men had already left, Uncle Nine prepared to make his move, deciding to let them test the energy they had gained over the past few days.
"Boom! Boom!"
Lightning flashed across the sky, and streaks of lightning began to form.
